I often get calls from parents looking for a car for their kids, or younger people looking for a used car…their are several I have come to avoid over the years. Recently Jerry Edgerton of CBS Money Watch, offered up his thoughts on 5 cars to avoid… of his five, three were dead on for my own thoughts and on cars to avoid. 2 VW’s and a Chevy. I expand on that, to all VW’s. In my experience as VW’s age, they just seem to have more and more problems. Ask a long term VW owner what they have wrong with their car…they normally have at least something that has just quit, and they have learned to live without it.
